PANCON’S CEO ON GOLD AND NICKEL EXPLORATION IN PROVEN NORTH AMERICAN MINING DISTRICTS
TSX VENTURE: PUC
July 24, 2019
Pancon’s CEO Layton Croft talks about how well-position the Company is with all its six projects on a four minute interview with Investor Intel.
“We are in proven mining districts, near and surrounding former or producing mines. We also focus on relationships and competence and capacity. We have world-class geologists and we work hard on engaging with all of our stakeholders and shareholders on a regular basis,” says Layton Croft.
Pancon currently holds a gold project in South Carolina and five nickel-copper-cobalt projects in Northern Ontario. To view the short, four-minute interview, click here.
Pancontinental Resources Corporation (“Pancon” or the “Company”) (TSXV: PUC) is a Canadian junior mining company focused on North American gold and battery metals projects in proven mining districts and near or surrounding produc-ing or former mines.
Gold Project in South Carolina:
• Pancon’s 100%-owned Jefferson Gold Project is 15 km along-trend from the Haile Gold Mine and surrounds the former Brewer Gold Mine property, on the prolific and underexplored Carolina Slate Belt in South Carolina, USA.
Battery Metals Projects in Northern Ontario:
Pancon has 5 nickel-copper-cobalt projects in Northern Ontario:• The Montcalm, Nova, Gambler and
Strachan projects are adjacent to and near the former Montcalm Ni-Cu-Co Mine located 65 km northwest of Timmins, ON, Canada
• The St. Laurent Project has an advanced Ni-Cu-Co-Au-Pt-Pd target and is located 50 km south of Detour Lake Mine and 20 km southwest of Casa Berardi Mine in northern Ontario, Canada

The Montcalm Project (3,780 hectares) is located within the prospective Montcalm Gabbro Complex, 65 km northwest of Timmins, Ontario.
The project is contiguous to and surrounds the western, northwestern and southwest-ern portion of the former Montcalm Mine, currently owned by Glencore plc.
The former Montcalm Mine was discov-ered and developed based on a single airborne electromagnetic anomaly identified in 1970s and previously mined 3,931,610 tonnes of ore grading 1.25% nickel, 0.67% copper and 0.051% cobalt, producing in excess of 4 million pounds of cobalt (Ontario Geological Survey, Atkin-son, 2011).
St. Laurent Project (4,170 hectares) is located in St. Laurent Township, 160 km northeast of Timmins, 50 km south of Detour Lake Mine and 20 km southwest of Casa Berardi Mine.
Past shallow drilling at the St. Laurent Project identified disseminated multi-element sulphide mineralization across notable widths trending towards a large gabbro-hosted magnetic feature.
The Ni-Cu-Co-Au-Pt-Pd zone is open along strike and at depth. This mineralized zone, importantly, is coincident with a strong 600-metre long EM anomaly.
The Nova Project (2,080 hectares) is located in the Montcalm Greenstone Belt,19 km southwest of Glencore’s former Montcalm Mine.
The Strachan Project (2,280 hectares) is lo-cated 15 km south of the former Montcalm Mine, in the Strachan Gabbro Complex.
The Gambler Project (7,630 hectares) is a camp-size project situated in the Mont-calm Gabbro Complex surrounding the Montcalm Project and adjacent to the former Montcalm Mine.

NOVA CU-CO-AU PROJECT
SOUTH CAROLINA PROJECT
The Jefferson Gold Project is located in Chesterfield County, South Carolina, on one of the most significant gold trends in the United States: the Carolina Gold Belt.
The Jefferson Gold Project is adjacent to the former Brewer gold mine (which produced 178,000 oz Au from 1985-1991), and 15 km up trend from OceanaGold’s producing Haile gold mine.
The former Ridgeway gold mine, located 50 miles along trend southwest of the Jef-ferson Gold Project, was a 15,000-tonnes per day open pit operated by Kennecott Minerals from 1988-1999.
The Haile gold mine, first discovered in 1827, is today a new open pit operation with a multi-million ounce resource that commissioned in December 2016. Haile is owned and operated by OceanaGold (TSX: OCG), which reports ongoing exploration and the potential for an expansion phase to an underground mine at Haile.
Pathway conduits of mineralization discov-ered at Jefferson mimic the same initial exploration successes at Haile.

PANCON EXPANDS ITS 100%-OWNED JEFFERSON GOLD PROJECT TO SURROUND THE FORMER BREWER GOLD MINE IN SOUTH CAROLINA
July 15, 2019
Pancontinental Resources Corporation (TSXV: PUC) (“Pancon Resources,” “Pancon” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has strategically improved its 100%-owned Jef-ferson Gold Project’s land position on the gold-rich Carolina Slate Belt in South Carolina, USA (see Figures 1 and 2). The Project has grown to 644 hectares (1,591 acres) and now surrounds the former Brewer Gold Mine property (see Figure 3).
The Jefferson Gold Project is located on the same mineralized trend and 15 kilometres northeast of the operating Haile Gold Mine, which produced 131,819 ounces of gold in 2018 and has measured and indicated gold resources of 3.1 million ounces. The Jefferson Project is located 55 kilometres along trend northeast of the former Ridgeway Gold Mine, where Kennecott Minerals produced more than 1.6 million ounces of gold from 1988-1999.
“Pancon acquired the Jefferson Gold Project, on the highly mineralized, prospective and under explored Carolina Slate Belt, in mid-2016. In light of today’s strengthening gold market (see Figure 4), we have repositioned the Jefferson Project to take full advantage of market dynamics with our improved land package,” said Layton Croft, Pancon President and CEO. “Our Project now surrounds the former Brewer Gold Mine, which produced 178,000 ounces of gold several decades ago from open pit operations that mined only down to 100-metre depths.”
Brewer’s prospective geology, including diatreme breccias, associated high sulphidation alteration, gold and copper mineralization, and geophysics support a possible porphy-ry-style copper-gold system at depth (Schmidt, R.G., 1978, The Potential for Porphyry Copper-Molybdenum Deposits in the Eastern United States, US Geological Survey).

The Carolina Slate Belt runs from Georgia northwest through the Carolinas to Virgin-ia, and has hosted many gold mines, including Barite Hill, Ridgeway, Howie, Haile and Brewer. The Jefferson Gold Project surrounds Brewer and is 15 km along trend from Haile. (Source: US Geological Survey and Hatcher and Butler).

Pancon’s near-term plans for the Jefferson Gold Project include further expanding the land position, conducting geophysics, and preparing for a drill program on targets be-lieved to correlate to the Brewer gold system and with geological similarities to the Haile Gold Mine, including similar host rock lithology, similar age, similar stratigraphy and time of mineralization, as well as similar alteration style and mineral assemblage (Ayuso, R.A., Wooden, J.L., Foley, N.K., Seal, R.R.II, Sinha, A.K., 2005, U-Pb zircon ages and Pb isotopic geochemistry of gold deposits in the Carolina Slate Belt of South Carolina; and Foley, N.K. and Ayuso, R.A., 2012, Gold deposits of the Carolina Slate Belt, southeastern United States: age and origin of the major producers). Of the 10 holes drilled on the Jefferson Gold Project between 2011-17, nine of them intersected gold mineralization, including one averaging 1.27 grams per tonne over 164.3 metres, true width unknown. Pancon cau-tions that the mineralization on adjacent and nearby properties is not necessarily indica-tive of the mineralization that may be identified on the Company’s property.
